February 2025 Weather Discussion

[tron777]

Good morning all! Lots to look at this morning so get some coffee and let's talk some weather! Flood warnings and flood watches will be expiring as time goes on. 2.64" for rainfall officially at CVG as of the 7am reading. 2-4" has fallen across the tri-state area depending on your location so the forecast worked out great! Now... we have rain / snow mixed changing to all snow moving into the region now. Temp is 34 and falling. Expect 1"+ per hour snowfall rates with big flakes and falling temps. Winds to 30 mph in gusts also. 1-3" of snow can be expected thru 10am. Then it is over and we transition to isolated snow showers for the rest of the day. Road temps are falling quickly too so the winter weather advisory remains in effect throughout the day today. Any remaining water that is not treated will freeze up today. Could see some slick spots in the morning also for those that have to go to work like me on Pres Day.

What are you guys seeing? Per radar, it is snowing along and NW of I-71. I am seeing snow now here as well as CVG. Very nice frontogenic forcing within the deformation band so it's going to mean business folks.

Snowing at Kings Island

Church closings are at a trickle here in the Miami Valley e.g. so far re the forecast for tomorrow. I expect mine here in Greenville to make the call eventually because the congregation is comprised mostly of senior citizens.

Currently 37 here in G'ville and progged for around 28 Sun morning.

Only 5 churches in the MV so far not including mine. Three in Montgomery Co and one in Miami Co.

Logan County e.g. is under a Level 1 emergency.

Currently 28 here in G'ville and progged for around 30 today.

Thank you all!

33 here with a dew of 31 with snow.

[tron777]

Snow is already sticking to the grass and car tops here.

Snowing as hard here as it has all winter. A little over an inch and pulling up fast.

[tpweather]

Good Morning and back to winter as the next few hours should bring us a nice dose of snow .

[Spacejunk]

1.96” of rain in Oxford. Just over 2” of snow so far and coming down hard.

[tpweather]

Normally back end snows are usually not good for snow in this area. This time though there is so much moisture around that getting a couple of inches is possible. Will watch the temp this morning because the roads are wet and never had time to dry off so if we see a drop off say in the upper 20's over the next few hours I would expect some icy spots to form.

[tpweather]

Looks like total rainfall for CVG is a tad over 2.5 inches so a very heavy rain event for mid-Feb. Highest totals of course over southern Kentucky with many places getting 4-5 inches and my guess once we see reports come out some folks got 6-7 inches. So all and all the storm performed as models showed though not perfect but that is never going to happen.

[tron777]

Heavy snow here and 32. Snow is sticking to the driveway and street now.

[tpweather]

Good Morning Les and the snow is very relaxing as it is coming down rather hard. I saw your post above and perfect as to what happen and what is going to happen today.

Thanks Tim! Getting hammered here and I'll have an inch on the car top / grass probably here shortly. A couple of inches is absolutely doable this morning. Love it!

Hey Les and once the snow ends we wait for the snow showers this afternoon and these could produce another quick 1/2 inch as that is the true arctic front getting near us.

Absolutely Tim! These will be more scattered but a few folks could certainly tack on a bit more after the deform band is finished. Check out what BG just posted on his FB page about 15 mins ago.

Rainfall at my house : 4:47”
Snowfall so far: 1.9”
What a weekend!

[tron777]

12Z HRRR has the event ending in that 10-11am window. Probably about 2 more hours of snow for MBY. If I can tack on 1 more inch in that time period which I expect too, I will most likely put 2" down for this event.

[tpweather]

Les another year will I will end up 2nd in a contest and blame it all on Doug.

[tron777]

Oldham Co KY reporting 3" and it's still snowing per Met. Jude Redfield.

[CINCINNATI01]

This is one of the more impressive rain to snow events I can remember definitely a good chance at seeing isolated 4inches

My typical YouTube short for my niece and nephews.

The heavy rain and thunder followed by snow has reminded me of the 78 blizzard. Not the same I know , but made me think of it.

[tron777]

30 / 29 here with very heavy snow. Big band coming thru now.

Yes and of course the big difference was the drop off of temps. I remember that evening well with heavy rain to heavy sleet to heavy snow in 1 hour. Temps dropped probably 30 degrees in 6 hours.
